..................................................................................................

003

• Do not attempt to repair the unit, or replace parts within it (except when this manual provides specific instructions directing you to do so). Refer all servicing to your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

..................................................................................................

004

• Never use or store the unit in places that are:

• Subject to temperature extremes

(e.g., direct sunlight in an enclosed vehicle, near a heating duct, on top of heat-generating equipment); or are

• Damp (e.g., baths, washrooms, on wet

floors); or are

• Humid; or are

• Exposed to rain; or are

• Dusty; or are

• Subject to high levels of vibration.

..................................................................................................

007

• Make sure you always have the unit placed so it is level and sure to remain stable. Never place it on stands that could wobble, or on inclined surfaces.

..................................................................................................

008c

• Be sure to use only the AC adaptor supplied with the unit. Also, make sure the line voltage at the installation matches the input voltage specified on the AC adaptor’s body. Other AC adaptors may use a different polarity, or be designed for a different voltage, so their use could result in damage, malfunction, or electric shock.

..................................................................................................

008e

• Use only the attached power-supply cord. Also, the supplied power cord must not be used with any other device.

..................................................................................................

009

• Do not excessively twist or bend the power cord, nor place heavy objects on it. Doing so can damage the cord, producing severed elements and short circuits. Damaged cords are fire and shock hazards!

..................................................................................................

010

• This unit, either alone or in combination with an amplifier and headphones or speakers, may be capable of producing sound levels that could cause permanent hearing loss. Do not operate for a long period of time at a high volume level, or at a level that is uncomfortable. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, you should immediately stop using the unit, and consult an audiologist.

..................................................................................................

011

• Do not allow any objects (e.g., flammable material, coins, pins); or liquids of any kind (water, soft drinks, etc.) to penetrate the unit.

• In households with small children, an adult should provide supervision until the child is capable of following all the rules essential for the safe operation of the unit.

015

• Do not force the unit’s power-supply cord to share an outlet with an unreasonable number of other devices. Be especially careful when using extension cords—the total power used by all devices you have connected to the extension cord’s outlet must never exceed the power rating (watts/amperes) for the extension cord. Excessive loads can cause the insulation on the cord to heat up and eventually melt through.

..................................................................................................

016

• Before using the unit in a foreign country, consult with your retailer, the nearest Roland Service Center, or an authorized Edirol/Roland distributor, as listed on the “Information” page.

..................................................................................................

IMPORTANTS NOTES

291a

In addition to the items listed under “USING THE UNIT SAFELY” on page 5, please read and observe the following:

Power Supply

301

• Do not connect this unit to same electrical

outlet that is being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

302

• The AC adaptor will begin to generate heat

after long hours of consecutive use. This is normal, and is not a cause for concern.

303a

• Since this device draws a relatively large

amount of electrical current, we recommend that you use it with the AC adaptor unless AC power is unavailable. Should you prefer to use batteries, please use the alkaline type.

304a

• When installing or replacing batteries, always

turn off the power on this unit and disconnect any other devices you may have connected. This way, you can prevent malfunction and/ or damage to speakers or other devices.

307

• Before connecting this unit to other devices,

turn off the power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

Placement

351

• Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other

equipment containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of interference.

352a

• This device may interfere with radio and

television reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b

• Noise may be produced if wireless communications devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initiating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

354a

• Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b

• When moved from one location to another where the temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

Maintenance

401a

• For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402

• Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data

452

• Please be aware that all data contained in the unit’s memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

IMPORTANTS NOTES

Additional Precautions

551

• Please be aware that the contents of memory can be irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the unit’s memory on a hard disk.

552

• Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents of data that was stored on a memory card once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553

• Use a reasonable amount of care when using the unit’s buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554

• Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display.

555

•A small amount of noise may be heard from the display during normal operation.

556

• When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the connector itself—never pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cable’s internal elements.

558a

• To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the unit’s volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

559a

• When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box (including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

562

• Use a cable from Roland to make the connection. If using some other make of connection cable, please note the following precautions.

• Some connection cables contain resistors.

Do not use cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

Before Using Cards

Using DATA Cards

704

• Carefully insert the DATA card all the way in—until it is firmly in place.

fig.M512-Insert

CompactFlash™

705

• Never touch the terminals of the DATA card. Also, avoid getting the terminals dirty.

707

• This unit’s memory card slot accepts CompactFlash memory cards. Microdrive storage media are not compatible.

708

• CompactFlash cards are constructed using precision components; handle the cards carefully, paying particular note to the following.

• To prevent damage to the cards from static

electricity, be sure to discharge any static electricity from your own body before handling the cards.

• Do not touch or allow metal to come into

contact with the contact portion of the cards.

• Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to

strong shock or vibration.

• Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in

closed vehicles, or other such locations (storage temperature: -25 to 85˚ C).

• Do not allow cards to become wet.

• Do not disassemble or modify the cards.

851

• Unauthorized recording, distribution, sale, lending, public performance, broadcasting, or the like, in whole or in part, of a work (musical composition, video, broadcast, public performance, or the like) whose copyright is held by a third party is prohibited by law.

852b

• When transmitting audio signals to an external device via a digital connection, this device is able to transmit data without being subjected to certain restrictions of the Serial Copy Management System (SCMS). This is because the unit is intended solely for musical production, and is designed not to be subject to restrictions as long as it is used to record works (such as your own compositions) that do not infringe on the copyrights of others. (SCMS is a feature that prohibits secondgeneration and later copying through a digital connection. It is built into MD recorders and other consumer digital-audio equipment as a copyright-protection feature.)

853

• Do not use this unit for purposes that could infringe on a copyright held by a third party. We assume no responsibility whatsoever with regard to any infringements of third-party copyrights arising through your use of this unit.

* Recording is always in stereo.

WAV files are not compressed; they capture all of the information in the recorded sound. This means that they will have better audio quality than MP3 files. However, WAV files are also much larger than MP3 files.

What is Bit Rate?

Bit Rate indicates the speed at which data is transferred. This is given in units of “bps” (bits per second). Higher bit rates will deliver better audio quality. A higher bit rate conveys more information, meaning that the sound will be represented more accurately; but this also means that the file size will increase. With a lower bit rate, the audio quality will be lower but the file size will also be smaller.

What is VBR?

VBR stands for Variable Bit Rate. This means that the bit rate is varied according to the type of sound at each moment in the recording. A higher bit rate is used when there is a larger amount of sonic information to be captured, and a lower bit rate is used when there is a lesser amount.

Recording with the internal microphone

fig.mic-LR.eps

The R-1’s internal microphone is stereo. Audio entering the microphone at the right side of the R-1 is recorded on the right (R) channel, while the audio picked up by the left microphone is recorded on the left (L) channel.

If you want to use the internal microphone, don’t connect anything to the mic input jack or line input jack. If a microphone or cable is connected to the mic input jack or line input jack, these inputs will take priority, and the internal microphone will not be used.

Make sure that the R-1’s power is turned off. Also set the minimum position.

If you want to hear (monitor) the sound while recording from the internal microphone, connect a set of headphones to the phones jack and use them for monitoring. If you connect external speakers and attempt to use them for monitoring, acoustic feedback will occur, so don’t attempt to monitor through speakers.

3. Play (or perform) the sounds

that you actually intend to record, and position the R-1’s internal microphone where it can pick up the sound.

* If you want to apply an effect to the sound while you record it, adjust the input level while

the effect is turned on (i.e., applied).

fig.rec-3.eps

4. While the sound plays,

gradually increase the input volume.

Adjust the level so that the ■ input level indicators shown in the display do not reach the righmost ■. If the recording level is too low, you won’t be able to record very soft sounds. If the recording level is too high, loud sounds will be distorted, causing crackles in the recorded sound.

* If the material you are recording occasionally contains sudden loud sounds, such as the

attack of a drum in a band performance or sudden laughter during a quiet conversation, we recommend that you use the Limiter (06 Limiter, p. 54). When doing so, adjust the input level appropriately for the principal type of sound you are recording—not for the sudden loud sounds that sometimes occur. If you want to use the limiter, you should first finish adjusting the input level, then press the STOP button to temporarily exit recordingstandby mode, and then turn the limiter on.
